What's On"Heroes" - by Queensland Theatre Company
Adults $29.50 Conc. $27.50 VIP & QAC $26 Group $26 Child 17 and under $12.50 A comedy play starring Max Gillies, Robert Alexander and Dennis Olsen First World War veterans Henri, Gustave and Philippe spend their autumn years reflecting upon the peculiar circumstances of their equally peculiar nursing home. Will Philippe survive Sister Madeleine's obsession with birthdays? Can Gustave ever get past the front gate?
How will Henri woo his young school teacher? And is there more to the stone dog than meets the eye? Time is running out for our three ex-Musketeers, until they hatch a daring plan to seize the day: their own great escape from the nursing home!
Harry Manx and Friends
Australian Tour 2008 Internationally acclaimed Canadian guitarist/singer-songwriter Harry Manx comes to Ipswich as part of his fifth Australian tour. Dubbed an "essential link" between the music of East and West, his unique sound is bewitching and deliciously addictive to listen to. Blend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you'll get Manx's unique "mysticssippi" flavour.
It's hard to resist, easy to digest and keeps audiences coming back for more.
Menopause the Musical
Adults $39 Conc. $36 Half a million Australian women can't be wrong! That's the number who have seen this hilarious show over the last two and a half years - and they love it! So much so, many of them have come back time and time again to join with their sisters in this 90-minute, one act laugh-a-thon!
Perhaps the attraction is the songs that everyone grew up with - The Great Pretender, Only You, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, Stand by Your Man, I Will Survive and twenty more - all sung with gusto and all with their ‘new' lyrics. Or maybe it's the realisation that there is a wonderful life waiting after ‘The Change'.

Based on Mem Fox's classic picture book, the stage production of Possum Magic has been stylishly embellished into a rollicking Australian musical - complete with lamingtons, pavlovas and vegemite sandwiches! Since the world premiere season in 1990, it has become the most successful Australian musical for children ever produced for the stage.
Possum Magic is the tender tale of baby possum Hush, made invisible by Grandma Poss in an effort to keep her safe from snakes. The adventure begins when Grandma is unable to reverse the "bush magic" spell and both she and Hush set off across Australia to try to find the solution.
A work full of imagination, charm and humour, Possum Magic features larger than life-size puppets, original music and a cast of multi-talented performers. First published in 1983, this national tour will celebrate 25 years of magic and is sure to be the highlight of Australian children's theatre for 2008! |
Check back soon for more details of the 2008 program.
